Message: [QUOTE="CMC'72, post: 2493599, member: 7661"] Had to check dates with my 95-year old Mom who never misses a game! Raised in Bristol. My Dad did his Masters (ME) in '55-'56. With 4 kids, I was usually sent along with Dad to give Mom a break, and waited in the car while he went to evening class (after his work). I was 5-6, so I do remember wandering around the campus as much as I could escape. Was in CT All-State Band in '66-67' (French Horn) and we met and played in the stands outside the field house. Ate stale bag lunches in the stands. The field house looked leaky already. Went to Univ Denver (Math) '68-70' where I basically taught skiing full time at Arapahoe Basin. Came back to complete at UCONN (Psych/Math minor) '72. Played in the Band at games. No French Horns now as all today's horns face forward to impact! Did an MBA (PKE) at Pepperdine '80-'82. As a consultant, helped turn Pac Bell in CA from a utility to a profit-making culture along with the original management team at Procter & Gamble, now consulting. Now in CA, got back into the UCONN women through my Mom, who never misses a game, going way back. I was never a fan of watching sports on TV. Ever. And never a fan of basketball. I lived in Santa Fe, NM at 8,500' ('76-'85), had 3 boys, and ended up in Carmel, CA in 1985. Didn't have a TV. What hooked me on our women is what I now brag to all my Left Coast friends: In CT, we grow strong women! Geno and our women prove that game after game, year after year. I could not be prouder to be a fan and of the State of CT! [/QUOTE]
